Old Fort Jackson
This fort is 1 of 8 forts built prior to the War of 1812 that is still standing in the USA. We have year-round cannon firings at 11a & 2p, daily. It is a fantastic venue for watching ocean going vessels travel the Savannah River.

Old Fort Jackson was built in 1808 to help protect Savannah during the War of 1812; great history lesson for a day activity. Hear the historic firing of the cannons on Saturdays & Sundays, 11AM & 2PM
The historian gave many great stories and the firing of the cannon was fun and exciting. Just know that it is loud so plug your ears. :)
Excellent guides! Very informative and engaging. There for about 2 hours and experienced 2 cannon firings !
The Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip in April 1862 was the decisive battle for possession of New Orleans in the American Civil War.
Cannon firings 11am and 2pm everyday.. Great view of the river !
Beautiful view and a nice history lesson
Fun place. Look in a local brochure or web site for when they fire the cannon. The cannon makes it worth it. Good history too.
The guides are excellent!
